THE KULAI, Johor Member of Parliament, Teo Nie Ching had
described as downright “appalling” the leniency shown by the Malaysian
Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) towards two directors of SRC International.

The two persons referred to by the
DAP lawmaker are lawyer Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil and former top civil servant
(Datuk) Suboh Md Yasin. They are wanted in the corruption
probe implicating the Prime Minister.

Among the many questions begging answers are:

1. Is it true that Mohd Najib and possibly the two “missing” persons ware
on the verge of being charge for allegedly misappropriating RM42 million
belonging to SRC International when then Attorney General, (Tan Sri) Abdul Gani
Patail, was abruptly relieved of his job on July 27 last?

2. Did Nik Faisal and Suboh lelf the
country on their own free will or were they told to leave the country when the
news of their impending arrest by the MACC leaked out?

3. It is true that Nik Faisal and
Suboh are hiding in Indonesia under the protection and patronage of some very
influential people there?

4. Is it true that the two fugitives
are willing to meet the MACC investigators in a foreign country (not Indonesia)
but “were stopped” by their “handlers” in Malaysia?

Teo also described as “ridiculous
and completely unacceptable” Mohd Najib’s explanation that the two men were
absence because they were “making preparations to be interviewed by MACC
soonest.

It is widely believed that the Nik
Faisal Suboh are under some sorts of “protective custody” in Indonesia
to avoid them from talking to the MACC or being clandestinely shanghaied by the
latter.

I can believe the theory that they
are in the protection of some powerful Indonesia personalities but I cannot
believe that the MACC would dare risk a diplomatic scandal by clandestinely
apprehending and transporting the two back to Malaysia.

The Malays have a proverb that says
“berani kerana benar, takut kerana salah.” Roughly translated it means you dare
because you’re in the right and you fear because you’re in the wrong.

Logically, since these two men are
Malays and Muslims, they should not run away if they have not done anything
wrong. But the very fact that they absconded from the country suggests that
they have something to hide.

If they have nothing to hide and are
free to act on their own, they should clear their names and the good name of
their families by presenting themselves to the MACC.

They have been missing since July.
The MACC issued an appeal by the latter on August 22 requesting them to present
themselves for interviews.

DAP MP Teo wants Mohd Najib to act

Speaking at a press conference at the Parliament House on Oct. 29, Teo said it was unheard of that
preparations for an interview should take three months and demanded Najib take
stern action against them immediately, failing which their absence would be
seen as being “sanctioned” by him.

The talk about these people
and others - like 1MDB’s President Arul Kanda Kandasamy and Jho Low - needing
time to prepare for the MACC interviews could be a delaying tactic to give 1MDB
enough time to restructure and regularize its books.

The fact that Nik Faisal and
Suboh are wanted in connection with SRC International and absconded strengthens
the assumption that it was the SRC International’s case that Abdul Gani was
brining to court when he was unceremoniously booted out.

Abdul Gani Blinked

Abdul Gani could have made a
tactical error by hesitating and by consulting too many people in his
decision-making.

He was believed to have
consulted several Malay Rulers, former law and legal officers and retired
Umno/Barisan National leaders for guidance and consent.

Abdul Gani and Mohd Najib during happier days

When he was ready and rearing
to go, some of these people had second thought about the timing of the action,
including the Ramadhan fasting and the Hari Raya Aidifitri that followed.

Now Abdul Gani is gone and
his lips are “sealed” for reasons that only he knows, the SRC International’s
legal case is unlikely to see daylight anytime soon.

Abdul Gani's successor, (Tan
Sri) Mohamed Apandi Ali, is unlikely to reopen the case. He has given us the
preview of what is to come when he shot down Bank Negara’s recommendation to
charge 1MDB for forex offences.

Apandi had already shot down Bank Negara's recommendations

His stand and stance should not surprise us if we take
into account his past involvement in politics and the circumstances in which he
was appointment AG.

The Economy
Stalls

In the meantime, confidence in the government and thus
in the economy continues to decline. The stock market – the indicator of
investors’ confidence – tumbled after Mohd Najib presented his 2016 Budget on
Oct. 23.

Even the mighty EPF is cautious. It is unsure about
meeting its annual dividend target of inflation plus two per cent “due to
volatile market movements since the middle of this year”, according to its CEO,
(Datuk) Shahril Ridza Ridzuan.

Felda Global Ventures Berhad – Mohd Najib’s post- 2013
General Election corporate coup – is as good as a junk stock. In the last one
year, its share price had fallen by almost 52 percent. It is now trading below
RM1.80. Its 2012 IPO price was RM4.55 and it opened trading at RM5.39. FGV is
the lifeblood of Felda settlers and Mohd Najib is their mentor.

EPILOGUE: – Prime Minister has filed a defamation lawsuit against former MCA
president Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik.On October
5, Najib demanded that Dr Ling apologise and retract remarks reported in the
press that claimed the prime minister “has taken people’s money and put it in
his own personal accounts.” – The Malay Mail Online.

The next main actor,acts and stage/theater akan datang dari siam, dan tidak keterlaluan jika the next theater/r stage is down under, and the next acts are to `destroy' many more `personalities', big and small, and in the end the present act is going status quo and the nation is on business as before, business as earlier than before and as business as much much earlier.

The `king' is successfuly eliminating the present and future `distruptees' and `obstacles', a little slow but very deadly at each level of the act..

In 4-5 years time, the US will assist `the king' decendant/s to hunt these `unwanted characters' , may be udner the pretex of assisting `terrorism' or a similar nasty `headings'.

The circle of guilty ones, the circle of complicity grows and it expotentially increases by a thousandfold every day. This is the nature of the beast, and unless truth is out and told, the beast will grow more hungry and become more powerful and will devour its own masters.

Gani is a stupid and incompetent AG cum Public Prosecutor who doesn't know how to do his job. Generally he is used to taking instructions from top politicians when dealing with high profile cases. The fact is that the Public Prosecutor's role in arresting and charging people in court is very minimal. Like a lawyer, they only advised or decided whether there is enough evidence to prosecute the offender in court & the rest will be taken care of by the investigating agency.

The Macc is the agency that investigates the corruption of Najib. And according to their Act, any prosecution against a corrupt criminal must be consented to by the Public Prosecutor. The Macc recommended that Najib be charged in court for receiving the RM42million. The 'consent to prosecute' could have been issued by the Macc's DPP with Gani's knowledge and blessing. There is no requirement for Gani to be involved either in issuing the consent or to consult anyone. Once a 'consent to prosecute' is issued by the DPP, the Macc cld apply for the warrant of arrest & register the charge sheets in court and after which have Najib arrested and charged. Actually Gani as AG & PP has a minimal role to play in the arresting and charging of Najib. He wanted to get actively involved in the case with the hope of basking in the spotlight & limelight if the case succeeds to proceed to court. He behaved stupidly by getting involved. He was shanked for his stupidity.

Now Apandi would stop the Macc DPP from issuing the 'consent to prosecute' unless he gives the greenlight to issue one. That is why Macc must be courageous and smart enough to deal with the Apandi issue. Their Act provides such avenues when dealing with a corrupt AG cum PP who is bent on shielding a corrupt offender from prosecution.

Their story line has never been plausible. I guess they are hoping that the rakyat suffers from amnesia every three months so that they can twist and turn while ignoring what has been said in the past.

The more they play the more disgusted the rakyat will be.

Another, bigger logical question is why was there a need to sack Muhyiddin, Gani Patail and the SB boss if there is nothing wrong with 1MDB and its dealings?

The equally important point is that the MACC also have powers that are wholly independent of the AGC.

Hence, they must do quite a skilful dance from now on, in avoiding the occupant of the AGC (based on BNM's bitter experience) while seeming getting not help but hindrance from PDRM (why no Red Alert via Interpol for the two fugitives?)

Hence TS Zeti and TS Abu Kassim must show great courage now.

Our country has been taken over by the evil, the greedy and the self-centred.

To Whom it May Concern - you would do well to Heed the Advice of Sages through the Ages...

"IGNORE YOUR ENEMY OR GET RID OF HIM!"

There are so many against you Now that it looking more like "Get Rid of THEM"...

You should recognize that you are faced with enemies of particular sorts - someone to whom you have done no harm, yet who, nonetheless, seethes with a hissing fury at the mere mention of your name! (No problems guessing who there are eh? your majesty?). They yip like a terrier whenever you enjoy good fortune (will 2.6 billion be enough?), and bites the newspaper when there is a report of your successes (GST a Success?).

Now there are eminent persons who are thinking about you. They live for you. Your every move gives definition to their existence (there is one person who is now heading towards 100 and will keep going until his "mission" is over!).

The age old suggestion was that you should ignore your enemy or get rid of him (sackings will do for the moment). But you must do it quickly, suddenly, and anonymously (just as you did with the previous AG!). You want him gone, but you do not want him to see that it was you doing him in. If he knows it is you, all is lost. For he will go with satisfaction that he got your goat and that all his efforts have finally paid off - which is the last thing you want!

Should the seemingly inevitable happen, and the "Magnificent 7" are removed from UMNO at the tante's whim (or rather, via direct orders to her Bugis footman), this brings the matter to a head.

Umno splits? Perhaps. However, Cash Is King.

It will still be whether the various KBU can keep their downlines well-fed. That will require an enhanced injection of cash (offshore ke, onshore ke, for sure, ke, tak kesah lah, as long as it arrives in their accounts. Principles, ethics and the welfare of the rakyat were set aside long ago.)

I fear the Mappadulung Daeng Mattimung Karaeng Sanrobone will need to eye other GLCs for extra funds to satisfy the ravenous hordes.

Also, the misdeeds cannot stay buried forever. The actual truth about his twin scandals will surface internationally. The final money trail will exceedingly complex but it will be pieced together eventually.

What then?

He can only attempt to block off Malaysia from the internet, and to tell the KBU to spin a "komplot Yahudi" angle downwards.

By then, the akad nikah between Umno and PAS may have taken place. Watching Hadi Awang trying to justify it will be richly entertaining.

Hadi Awang should step aside in favour of Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, a far more consistent leader who seems wiser to Umno's motivations and desperations.
